Stars live every day in the eye of the public. Some put themselves out there, some try to stay more on the down-low, but no one can resist a good smooch. Some couples we expect this from (Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber) and some celebs we don't (Angelina Jolie and her brother) — but all these celebs have made out in public. From red carpets to city sidewalks, from country to country and coast to coast, here are 20 celebs who aren't afraid to show a little (or a lot) of PDA.

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams

The Modern Family star met her Bachelorette boyfriend over Twitter in 2017 and they have hogging all the cute ever since. The two were seen locking lips after the Nashville-based Adams flew to live with Hyland at her LA home, and again on a date before a Lakers game. They announced their engagement on Instagram in July 2019 from a private beach in Fiji, where they were vacationing. We don’t know details of the ceremony, but we can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them.

Keira Knightley and James Righton

The award-winning actress and her musician hubby share a strong bond and aren’t afraid to show it. They’ve been spotted having make-out sessions frequently — all over America, and at home in London, England. The lovey-dovey duo have been together since 2011, married since 2013, have two daughters and are still going strong.

Cara Delevingne and Ashely Benson

Is there anything cuter than passionate, unabashed love? Actress and model couple Cara Delevingne and Ashely Benson the perfect example — after trying to keep their relationship on the low, the ladies posted a steamy make-out video on Delevingne’s Instagram with the caption “#PRIDE”. The two met on the set of Her Smell and hit it off. They’ve since been seen making out pretty frequently, including at the 2019 US Open Women's Final and in an Instagram photo of them in a bathtub for Benson’s birthday.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Is anyone surprised Kimye is on this list? The reality star and rapper power couple have been household names for years and have been close with one another for much of that time. They’ve been bound to each other, but not just on that motorcycle. They’ve been spotted smooching in the Bahamas, in Miami, in an elevator and at the Grammys. Pretty much any event or outing the parents-of-four are at, they’re sharing the love. No one can stop Kim and Yeezy.

Angelina Jolie and James Haven

Did you know Angelina Jolie has a brother? Did you know they locked lips at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in 2000? The star had just won her first Oscar for best actress in a supporting role in Girl, Interrupted and in her speech, claimed she was “so in love with my brother right now.” If that wasn’t enough to spark talk and controversy, their smooch later that evening sure did. Jolie spoke up in an interview not long after to say it was just “brotherly love.”

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

The Kardashians are keeping up with their shows of affection! The youngest of the Kardashian sisters trio has had a bit of a rocky relationship with her Canadian basketball star boyfriend. Amid cheating allegations on Thompson’s part, the couple got together in a steamy make-out sesh at a 2017 New Years party that was shared on Thompson’s Snapchat – and Khloe was positively beaming. Their relationship is currently on the rocks, but they’re sticking together with their daughter True during the COVID-19 lockdown. Could we be seeing more of them soon?

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are the power couple the queer community needed in pop culture. They’ve been married since 2008 and in all that time they’ve been together, they never miss an opportunity to show their lady love. The 32-time Emmy winning talk show host and her model-philanthropist wife have shared a kiss at several of DeGeneres’s Emmy wins and episodes of her show, but also in more low-key spots like the streets of Hollywood.

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine

Lakers games seem to be a hot spot for celebrity make-outs, and you can include model Behati Prinsloo and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine to the list. The Lakers-loving lovebirds were caught on the infamous Kiss Cam, and they didn’t shy away — not once but three times in the same year! While their courtside courtship is strong, they’ve also been caught lip-locked in Hawaii, a Victoria’s Secret fashion show (where Prinsloo modeled), and several award shows.

Hailey Baldwin and Justin Beiber

Married for half a year, but lovin’ like they just hooked up last night. Baldwin and Bieber tied the knot in September 2019, and there’s no doubt they were made for each other. From New York to the Bahamas to London and more, this young couple isn’t afraid to lock lips in the public eye and in social media posts. While they can’t travel the world, the two are social-distancing in Waterloo, ON, making TikToks, and are “happier than they’ve been in months.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Former actress Meghan Markle and her royal husband Prince Harry shared a kiss at their massive publicly-broadcast wedding in 2018, in front of millions of viewers.

The two recently stepped down from their royal duties and moved to Vancouver with their son, Archie, and hope to lead as normal a life as possible.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

When in Rome… you make out! The multi-talented Biel and her boyband-heartthrob beau, Timberlake, have been together since 2007, when they met at a birthday party. Through a split and a cheating allegation, Biel and Timberlake have been strong through it all, passionately making-out at Lakers games in 2017, on the streets of Italy and at the 89th Academy Awards.

Troye Sivan and Jacob Bixenman

Since meeting in 2016, singer-actor Sivan and model boyfriend Jacob Bixenman have living in Heaven. No, not just because of their spicy scenes in Sivan’s music video for his song Heaven, but because these two have been serious for the last four years. After touring South America, Sivan returned to Los Angeles and reunited with his man for lunch as a quick make-out sesh in the streets of Venice Beach. We’re looking forward to seeing what Tracob has coming up for us.

Jaden Smith and the "Mystery Brunette"

At Coachella 2019, rapper Jaden Smith took the world by storm — not just with his performance, but with a midday make-out session with a mysterious new gal pal. The two were seen getting their PDA on on a bench at the Coachella venue, and later the two walked about, his arm wrapped in hers. They were also spotted together in Paris for Fashion Week, where they showed their affection once again. Who is this mystery girl? No has the answer, but we’re dying to know!

Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes

This list wouldn’t be complete if one of the steamiest couples of the century wasn’t included. Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes have been teasing us with their adorable relationship since they released the intimate Senorita music video, an even released a video poking fun at all the times they’ve made out. From Miami to San Francisco, they could probably fill up this entire list and, honestly, we’re here for it.

Michelle and Barack Obama

Add the Obamas to the Making-Out-At-A-Basketball-Game List! The 44th POTUS and his sophisticated First Lady, Michelle, were caught on the Kiss Cam back in 2012.

When they appeared on the screen again, Malia egged them on and the presidential pair locked lips to the sounds of cheers and applause.
